Ariana DeBose makes history with Best Supporting Actress Oscar win

Ariana DeBose won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress at the 2022 Oscars Sunday night, making her the second actress to take home Oscar gold for playing the role of Anita in West Side Story. She is also the second Latina actress to win an Oscar following Rita Moreno, who took home the same award for the same role back in 1962.

DeBose wasted no time in thanking “the divine inspiration that is Rita Moreno” for paving the way for Anitas everywhere. “Even in this weary world we live in,” DeBose said, “dreams do come true.”
